Lindsay Sabadosa is an American activist, politician and businesswoman. She is the first woman to hold the 1st Hampshire district seat in the Massachusetts House of Representatives.

Early life

Sabadosa organized her first protest march at age nine to protest the closing of her hometown library due to budget cuts. She became involved in political campaigns starting in high school, volunteering on campaigns for former Congressman John Olver, former Senator John Kerry, and several local officials. She soon began to focus her electoral work on women candidates, working for local and state-wide candidates, and ultimately joining the Board of Directors of Emerge Massachusetts in order to deepen and expand her interest in building benches.

She earned her AB from Wellesley College (2002) and her MSc from the University of Edinburgh (2006). She was the recipient of the Wellesley-Yenching Program Fellowship, which led her to spend a year in Nanjing, China as a fellow at Ginling College at Nanjing University. She then moved to Italy where she worked in Marketing & Communications at CUP2000, a company in Bologna that strives to improve health care and provide telemedicine solutions throughout the European Union.

Career

Business

She founded a translation firm, specializing in Italian and French legal and financial translation with a focus on international litigation, contract law, and finance. She ran this firm, with over 300 clients on six continents, for nearly 17 years until her election.

Activism

Sabadosa serves as an Alumna Admissions Representative for Wellesley College, interviewing dozens of candidates each year. She is on the board of the Wellesley Club of the Pioneer Valley. She helped organize Three Sisters Events in the Pioneer Valley for Wellesley, Mount Holyoke, and Smith, which focus on getting alumnae to mentor the next generation and increase their involvement in their community.

She is a long-standing volunteer with the Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts and on the Board (and intake team) of the Abortion Rights Fund of Western Massachusetts. She is a founding board member of the Doula Association for Reproductive Loss and Abortion (DARLA), which brought abortion and reproductive loss doula training to the Pioneer Valley for the first time.

She sits on the statewide organizing committees for Medicare for All and helped found the Western Massachusetts Safe Communities Act coalition. She is an active member of the Northampton Democratic City Committee and frequently represents her ward at the Democratic State Convention.

In 2016, she joined the Massachusetts Chapter of the Women’s March on Washington, organizing contingents travelling to Washington DC and Boston as well as a local march in Northampton. In February 2017, she helped create the Pioneer Valley Women’s March (PVWM), which has organized dozens of community events on a variety of social justice issues with particular focus on involving the community in state-level advocacy. In January 2018, PVWM held its anniversary march in Northampton with over 5,000 participants, the largest march ever held in the city. PVWM is now part of the Pioneer Valley Resist Coalition, a group of over 30 grassroots activist and advocacy organizations that focus on social and environmental justice.

Personal life

She resides in Northampton with her daughter, Kala.[1]
